Rules and policies

Rules and policies are in place to make sure your child remains safe and well at school.

Visit the NSW Department of Education’s policy library for all current operational policies.

The Department of Education's anti-bullying policy, which our school follows, is here. All students are bound by Behaviour Code for Students. Additional information and resources about anti-bullying programs, including National Day of Action Against Bullying Violence which EPS commemorates every year, can be found on the NSW anti-bullying website. 

Our school uses the department's School Community Charter to ensure all of our communication is collaborative and respectful.

Attendance and absences

Students must attend school regularly so they can achieve their educational best and increase their career and life options.

In NSW, all children from the age of 6 are legally required to attend school or be registered for home schooling through the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA). All students must complete Year 10, or its equivalent and remain in school, employment or training until they turn 17.
